Modric’s AC Milan Season Over After ‘Successful’ Cheekbone Surgery

Luka Modric’s season with AC Milan is over after he underwent ‘successful’ cheekbone surgery, according to a source close to the club. The Croatian midfielder suffered the facial injury during a recent fixture and medical assessments determined that an operation was necessary to repair the fracture and ensure a full recovery. Club doctors completed the procedure without complications, but the required healing and rehabilitation timeline means Modric will not return to competitive action for the remainder of the campaign. His absence is a significant setback for AC Milan, as his experience and control in midfield have been central to the team’s rhythm this season. The club is now expected to adjust its squad rotation and tactical plans for the final matches, while Modric focuses on recovery ahead of pre-season preparations for next year.
